Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions (Governance)

Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions (Governance)

Governance Worldbuilding Questions:

What forms of governance exist (do they differ by region)? For example, monarchy, democracy, tyranny, oligarchy, anarchy.

What is the biggest threat to stable government in your world?

Who is the most loved leadership figure (or the most hated and feared) and why?

Who governs key parts of your world (e.g., this may be the pilot of a spaceship in a sci-fi story)? Will the head honcho change?

Where are the major centers of power and administration in your world, and why are they located in these places?

Where are laws and policies enforced the most, and where is the long arm of the law weakest?

When were the laws that most affect your characters passed? Are there any troubling ones on the ballots?

When did this world’s current system of government or political system come into existence, and what were the historical and cultural factors that led to its formation?

Why do characters either support or resist the government? In what ways it is benevolent or abusive?

Why do individuals or groups hold power to govern? Is it a birth right system, an electoral one, or the result of a coup or other event?

To take a break from Griffeuxes:

Feylands Government System!

They use to hold a multitude of Monarchies across the continent, but after several riots against the multiple monarchies and a lot of cleaning up: Six organizations came about to instill order and have been working cleanly after a few hiccups.

I have unifying colors for them and Flags!

In order:

Gis (Argriculture & Rural affairs)

Thalimis (Architecture, infrastructure & Water incorporation)

Ourinis (Communication, Transportation & Imports/exports)

Nekis (Law Enforcement & Millitary matters)

Mageis (Education)

Ygeis (Healthcare)

To Take A Break From Griffeuxes:

All the original leaders commissioned or hand-crafted their flag.

Thyne Duron! Currently my only drake example.

Thyne Duron! Currently My Only Drake Example.

Under things,

He’s a very compact and short guy. Very dependent on water but that works with his job as head of the Thalimis Guild.

He doesn’t go out to jobs as much anymore as it’s now his job to watch over and guide.

As per lore: He has a shit ton of kids. 9 total, with 6 different drakes. He was a party kid who got hit by reality in his 50’s, and has started working hard to make up for it. Most of his kids are grown by now (and by proxy, hates him,) but he’s paying back for the time spent because he wants to. He was a dumbass and he’s making up for it.

He’s strictly settled away from any type of partner and prefers work anyways.

Intro

Hello!! I’m Wysteria, an artist and writer looking to get involved a bit more with the community.

I specialize in background art, however I‘ve recently taken up book cover art as well and have been having a blast doing that too and experimenting with styles! You may see some of those pop up here from time to time!!!

As for writing, I mainly write fantasy or historical fiction, both of which take up the majority of my time when I’m not drawing. I’m not sure how much writing I’ll post over here, but keep an eye out for that too!

Asks and interactions are always welcome! I don’t bite

It’s lovely to meet you all!

Food and culture ideas! Notes under the cut

A majority of food comes from the ocean and shallow waters of their home world. Large-scale hunting is done on a smaller scale, ever since larger communities moved to shallower, warmer waters when civilizations began to rise. Any food items that require an ingredient from a deep sea animal is usually a delicacy.

Anything that isn't eaten fresh is preserved in a glazed ceramic vessel or sealed in a plastic-like packaging made from seaweed. Bowls and drinking cups are typically made from bone, shells, or carved stone.

Soups tend to be sent with away agents because that is one of the easier ways to make sure that daily nutritional goals are being met, while it is not often eaten on the planet itself. Large pieces of meat and fish, along with most other cultural staples, are difficult to store long-term and aren't sent with away teams.
